EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir John Fortescue: A Prominent Figure in the Reign of King Henry VI (1394-1476) Sir John Fortescue, born in Devonshire, England, around 1394, rose to prominence during the reign of King Henry VI (1422-1461) as a trusted advisor, Chancellor, and Lord Chief Justice. This evocative portrait captures the wisdom and authority of this esteemed statesman and jurist. Fortescue's career began under the auspices of Henry V, who appointed him as a justice of the peace in Devon and Cornwall. However, it was under Henry VI that Fortescue truly made his mark. In 1433, he was appointed Chancellor of England, a position he held for over two decades. During his tenure, Fortescue played a pivotal role in the government, advising the king on matters both domestic and foreign. In 1442, Fortescue was appointed Lord Chief Justice of England, a position he held until his death in 1476. In this role, he presided over the King's Bench and the Common Pleas, ensuring that justice was administered fairly and impartially. Fortescue's legal expertise and commitment to the rule of law earned him a reputation as one of the greatest jurists of his time. Fortescue's legacy extended beyond his legal and political achievements. He is also remembered for his influential writings on governance and the role of the monarch in society. His most famous work, "The Governance of England," outlines the principles of good government and the importance of the rule of law. This seminal work continues to be studied by scholars and political theorists today. This portrait of Sir John Fortescue, with his serious expression and dignified demeanor, serves as a reminder of the important role he played in English history as a trusted advisor, Chancellor, and Lord Chief Justice during the reign of King Henry VI.
